Graded EX 5 by PSA. Extremely attractive high-grade example of this classic tobacco card of Hall of Famer Ty Cobb, with an unusual and desirable Sovereign Cigarettes back. Sovereign is a scarce back, certainly not in the same league as Drum or Uzit, but very unusual and seen far less often than most other advertising backs. The T206 Ty Cobb bat-off-shoulder pose is one of the key cards in the set. Bright and crisp, with bold colors, light wear to the square corners (more wear on the upper left and lower right, which keep this card from grading higher), and centered slightly to the top. The Sovereign 350 advertising reverse is clean with no tobacco stains. This is a very attractive example of the legendary Ty Cobb from the most popular set of the era in an incredibly high grade worthy of the finest T206 set, Ty Cobb, or Hall of Fame collection. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,500++.
